Can you use coal in the fire pit?

Yes you can.. it comes with a grate and my daughter has used both... they said the steaks turned out wonderfully.. they love it..

absolutely... you have a base of sand and then brick if you like so charcoal should be no problem.

I would at least add sand to the bottom of the fire pit first but I wouldn't see why not either.

You can, but when you burn the wood or what ever you burn. It will make the glass all dirty. This is meant for gas or propane fires.

Yes ,you can use in a fire pit surrounded by natural Stone. You can put the ring on top stone. Just don't put stone on top of fire ring because some stone will get hot and pop sending peaces flying. Also try to cover gas line so it doesn't get damaged , burnt, or cut. This could result in gas leaks. Good luck and enjoy.

I have not used charcoal but I see no reason why you couldn't use it. The steal is strong and will handle any kind of burning material. It's a very well designed piece--I have used it at least 50 times and it holds up really well.

Yes, this fire pit can be used on a wood deck - you're right, some fire pits should not be used on or near combustible decking; however this unit is safe to use.

I don't know why you couldn't...I would probably put some cheap lava rock from your big box store as a base to distribute the flames though

I use one of those tall charcoal lighters where you put paper in the bottom and the charcoal in the top. It acts as a chimney, and in about 10 minutes after lighting the paper you dump the lit coals into the stove. I love my volcano stove and use it often.

Yes but you risk losing heat as the coals die. You'd do better with a grill you could add fuel to or a gas grill

The decision and risk are yours, but I can provide some useful info. The inside obviously gets flaming hot. The rim and legs, i.e., the parts that would touch you deck, are not too hot. The pit's pan has a solid bottom, so no coals will fall through.If it was my deck, my primary concern would be sparks popping out. But this fire pit comes with a screened lid heavy enough to stay in place. The only remaining spark risk is when you remove that lid to roast marshmallows or to add more wood. I suppose you could get some sparks or even small coals through the pan's wider-meshed sides if you build up the coals too much or fail to clean out the ashes between uses.

Yes, you can use your own firewood but I would not recommend this firepit. It is not sturdy and is smaller than it looks.

Any fire pit will put out warmth with enough wood burning, on mine I put 5 to 6 18" logs for fire that will radiate heat about 3 feet around this fire pit. More than adequate.

Yes, you can. I advise wood first and chunk charcoal. Once flame down, and coals all burning, place top back on chimmea. This ensures enough heat for baking.

Although a fire pit could be used as an open fire to cook, it is not designed for this use. Wood fires are difficult to use for cooking and charcoal or gas grills are the best choice for barbecuing.

I have not tried that, but I would think that would be fine. It's pure so there wouldn't be any fumes. I'm afraid I don't have any experience burning coals over sand, but I can say this is premium sand.

Yes, they could be used in a fire pit. I am planning on using them in mine. I'm going to put about 3-4 cans in and surround them with lava rocks and other rocks to camouflage the cans.

The ash can be removed after it has cooled with a small shovel or something similar. If desired, the fire pit can be cleaned with mild soap and water between uses.

No it cannot. It will only work with propane. I know they make natural gas fire pits but they are way more expensive.
